foreach ( 1 .. 10 ) {
  print "$_ " if ($_ % 2 == 1);
}

".." is an operator that will return a list that is the range between left
and right.  foreach will run the code block for each item of the list,
setting $_ to that item.  print ... if does like it sounds, and % is the
modulo operator, in other words, it returns the remainder if the % had been
a /.

I hope this helps you, and I apologize for the unkind responses you have
received from the list here.
